The newer pro stadiums like Citi field and the new Yankee stadium have very small backstop netting. The diamond level seats are expensive and people don't want to have obstructed view. If you are even slightly toward the home or visiting side of home plate you are outside the nets. The nets as they are, are basically only good for foul tips that go almost straight back.



MLB is now looking at expanding the nets because of recent fan injuries. One proposal is to expand the backstop netting left and right all the way to the home and visitors dugouts. That will suck.

When you sit behind home plate you better not have your head up your ass. Unfortunately if that were you in that seat, you would have been fucked. Then again, I'd pay real money to see you get a face full of wood. :laugh3:

You, a man, can't tell the difference between 2 meters and 10.  Seems to be a common problem with your gender.  You guys can't estimate length but think you can handle a crisis?  HA!


And you, a woman, know nothing of telescopic lenses and their tendency to condense a scene into looking flat and compressed.



Here is a page that may help you understand how telephoto lenses work.

Center to center on a row of seats is 2.7 feet approx. Five rows = 13.5 feet or a little over 4 meters.
I've learned that if someone asks you a really stupid question and you reply by telling them what time it is, they'll leave you alone

I watched as a kid which is probably why I can tell the difference between 4m and 10m.



I notice the gender of the inattentive child was never mentioned by you Crow.  Why is that?
